"hoodrathings" Gets Showered by "knittingboy"

"hoodrathings" Eliminated by "knittingboy"
"hoodrathings" Eliminated by "knittingboy"

With play in Level 17 and blinds of 3,500/7000 with an ante of 875, "hoodrathings" saw action fold around to them in middle position and they jammed for 80,500. "knittingboy" re-jammed for 158,000 in the cutoff and all remaining players folded.

"hoodrathings": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
"knittingboy": {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

A hoodrat thing was done to "hoodrathings" on the flop {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}, but they still had seven outs to reclaim the lead. None would come as the board ran out {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and they were eliminated from the tournament.

"FerociousPanda" Finds a Favorable Runout

"FerociousPanda" Gets a Double
"FerociousPanda" Gets a Double

In Level 16 with blinds up to 3,000/6,000 and an ante of 750, "Sandyland2323" went all in for 115,000 in the hijack and "FerociousPanda" called all in for less from the small blind.

"FerociousPanda": {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
"Sandyland2323": {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

"FerociousPanda" was in dominated shape but the flop came {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to pick up another nine outs. None of the nine outs would be needed as the turn {j-Hearts} improved them to a pair of jacks and the river {j-Spades} was clean to finish with trips and score the double.

Moments later, "FerociousPanda" was seen knocking out another player with pocket jacks to ace-ten to bring them over 300,000.

"alwaysliquid" Finds a Cooler, Doubles "xs-pain"

"xs-pain" Doubles Through "alwaysliquid"
"xs-pain" Doubles Through "alwaysliquid"

In Level 13 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, "xs-pain" opened to 9,400 in early position and received a call from "alwaysliquid" in the hijack. Two more players came along as well to take action four ways to a flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Action checked to "xs-pain," who shoved all in for 88,350, which was double the size of the pot. "alwaysliquid" also went all in for barely more, and both other players folded.

"xs-pain": {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
"alwaysliquid": {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

"alwaysliquid" found their flopped top and bottom pair up against the top two pair of "xs-pain," leaving them in need of hitting a ten to win or running Broadway cards to get a chop. The turn {4-Spades} removed any chance of a chop, and the river {6-Hearts} completed the runout with aces and jacks remaining best for "xs-pain," who earned a double as a result.

In Level 12 with blinds of 1,600/3,200 and an ante of 400, "MatchupProof" opened the action with a raise to 6,400 in middle position. "Judiallin" called on the button and "BokeemSpades" defended their big blind.

The three players saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and "BokeemSpades" checked. "MatchupProof" made a continuation-bet to 9,000 and "judiallin" raised to 30,200. "BokeemSpaes" folded and "MatchupProof" called.

The turn was {q-Hearts} and "MatchupProof" checked. "Judiallin" clicked the pot button and bet 84,800, sending "MatchupProof" into some thought before making the call. Action then went check-check on the river {3-Spades} to take the hand to showdown.

"MatchupProof" showed {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a flopped set of jacks and judiallin" mucked, unable to beat it to result in "MatchupProof" taking down the pot.
